Directions
Finely chop the onions and garlic.
Sauté them along with the basil and oregano in the vinegar until very soft.
Meanwhile, in a large pot put the water, buollion, beans, tomatoes, and parsley and heat up.
When the onions and garlic are done, add them to the rest of the soup.
Let this simmer for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Then add the macaroni and let this mixture simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve with a sprinkle of good quality grated parmesan on top if desired.
